To solve the equation $x + \frac{40}{x} = 14$, multiply both sides by $x$ to get rid of the fraction: $x^2 + 40 = 14x$. Rearrange to get a quadratic equation: $x^2 - 14x + 40 = 0$. Factoring this equation gives $(x - 10)(x - 4) = 0$, so the solutions are $x = 10$ and $x = 4$.

Solve the Equation x+40x=14x + \frac { 40 } { x } = 14x+x40​=14

Solve the Equation $x + \frac { 40 } { x } = 14$
